Uncharted 2 takes over largest game store in UK

The GameStation store in the Bullring Centre is the largest games store in the UK (in terms of floor space), and Sony clearly hasn't wasted any time in getting Nathan Drake's face out there where people will see it.

Thats about 1/3 of the size of the Modern Warfare 2 poster I saw on a local best buy window last week.

Of course, everything in America is bigger. Including the people ;)

AP5720d ago

Well, this is the largest GAME store. It was 2 floors. Best Buy etc are basically what we call Supermarkets here, which are an entirely different kettle of fish.

You ever notice how here in the states. Look in the front window at Video game stores. Notice how it's most always loaded with MS Xbox stuff? Be it games systems, etc. You'll see a little stack of PS3 slims, etc. But mostly all MS stuff. I've started paying attention to this 6 months ago here at 3 of our local Malls. They seem to push the cheaper system out the door more than the higher end PS3 system. I guess they are pushing America's product first here too. Even though it's a total lemon. But see if you see the same thing near you.

I can't believe that store is actually called Gamestation. Isn't that the name for fake consoles on TV shows.

uncharted 2 has 36 perfect scores (1 less than gta4) but has much more above 95 scores, uncharted 2 has ZERO below 90 scores whilst gta has TWO below 90 at 88 and 87 yet gta 4 has a metacritic of 98 whilst uncharted is on 96?

Get a life and learn some math.

ZBlacktt5720d ago

The scores are a joke. Play little attention to them. I mean GTA became the fastest/most traded in game ever. From both consoles and GameCrazy and EB Games, etc. Stopped taking them in on trades at one point. Then look at StreetFighter IV. It has a score the same as MGS4. Like who the hell was on crack to give it that? It's the same damn game from 20 years ago. I own it and have many of the trophies. But it's nothing new at all. So simple, one screen two players fighting, oh yeah really in depth. In GTA, it was pure hype off the last game, which is still 100 times better.

Uncharted 2 Is the Most Important PlayStation Exclusive of All Time

In a list of games that defined the PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would certainly be one of the top contenders. The blockbuster sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune not only received critical acclaim and became a massive hit for Sony’s third console when it was released 15 years ago on October 13th, 2009, but it also cemented Naughty Dog’s future as a developer of cinematic, story-driven action-adventure games as opposed to its history of colorful platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter from previous PlayStation generations. To this day, Uncharted 2 stands as one of the PS3’s best exclusives and one of the most important PlayStation games of all time.

it was pretty good. especially the multiplayer

KyRo235d ago

I loved this era on multiplayer games from Sony. People used to call the modes tacked on multiplayer but they were enjoyable. I loved Factions even more. I'm Still gutted that the second one isn't coming out.

-Foxtrot235d ago

Yeah, that one game where it not only has an amazing single player but the multiplayer was also just as good.

A fresh a breath air with it's more "skill focused, less is more" multiplayer in a time during COD fever where every other game with online was trying to be like it.

Shame NaughtyDog eventually did do COD like things with Uncharted 3 and 4, they ruined what made the original so good. It become an over the top arcade fest in the end.

Ironic cause the MP was basically Halo, and Bungie helped on the technical side of things too. MP was more simple back then, I've said this before but I played U2 MP religiously. I sucked at it like you have no idea, but mah gawd did I have so much fun. Can't find an MP game that hooked me like U2s these days. Then Factions came along and while it had its problem I found new religion with it. Agh damn it why did they cancel Factions 2 bruhh.

gold_drake235d ago

i had so much fun too, played almost every night with mates or cousins baha

Relientk77235d ago

It is for sure my favorite game in the series. It's such a blast to play. The train levels still hold up and are fun as hell as well as the entire game.

RaidenBlack235d ago (Edited 235d ago )

Still remember the first gameplay video ... shooting the chasing truck and then the beautiful visuals & details whilst traversing the dilapidated Nepal streets ... perfection
Too bad Sony never ported the trilogy to PC ...

RaiderNation235d ago

I would argue it's God of War.

darthv72235d ago

I'll say, the PS3 really did sequels better than people give it credit for. Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Infamous 2... all were better than their initial offerings and still hold up to this day.
